Transmission fluid contamination in trucks can lead to serious issues such as shifting problems, overheating, and even complete transmission failure. Key signs of this problem include slipping gears, rough shifting, a burning smell, discolored fluid, and low fluid levels in automatic transmissions, while manual transmissions may exhibit difficulty shifting, grinding noises, fluid leaks, and rough operation. General symptoms also include the check engine light coming on, increased fuel consumption, and unusual vibrations. Preventative measures such as regular maintenance, using the correct fluid, checking for leaks, avoiding overheating, using magnetic drain plugs, and minimizing short trips can help keep the transmission fluid clean. If contamination is suspected, it is crucial to consult a qualified mechanic. TTS offers expert diagnosis and rebuild services for Ford, Dodge, GMC, and Chevy transmissions, providing high-quality parts and quick turnaround times to prevent further damage caused by contaminated fluid.

Tackling Transmission Troubles: Diagnosing and Repairing Shift Solenoid Issues in Your GMC Truck

Published on: 26/10/2024

If your GMC truck is exhibiting symptoms like erratic shifting, hard shifting, or an illuminated transmission warning light, it may have a problematic transmission shift solenoid. Begin by checking the transmission fluid level and cleanliness, then use a scan tool to read any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that can lead you to the faulty solenoid. Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or loose connections and consider performing a transmission pressure test with the help of a certified mechanic. Once the faulty solenoid is identified, replace it with a new one that matches your truck's specifications, clear any DTCs with your scan tool, and test drive the truck to ensure the problem is resolved. For complex issues or professional assistance, the expert technicians at TTS, Truck Transmission Specialists, are available to provide top-notch GMC transmission repair and rebuild services.
